the niagara is truly a great fishery ,,,this time of year with the winds stirring up erie the fishing can be tough when the water is muddy..the trout shut down and don"t want to spend any energy,,you just hit it at bad time,,the guide you had probably knew this and did his best moving from spot to spot but he cannot predict the weather and fishing is fishing have never heard of any bad guides on the river,,,sure some better than others but i"m sure he gave an honest effort,,it is his liveleyhood and reputation..struckout the first three times i was there years ago when i started fishing the river but i know when you hit it right with the right presentation you will be amazed
